Other programs like Texas is paying for playmakers AND supporting cast. Their OL players get minimum 50k a year.
Re-read this… this is such a scummy place that college football has come to.
Yeah sure, if I owned Nike or Walmart or an oil company, I’d may as well give substantial part of my earnings to LSU athletics to “buy” more players and championships if this is the game now.
Sadly, I have bills to pay and kids to feed. I apologize I can’t make more meaningful contributions. Sorry

Again
The money paid to players does not come from the college
Colleges cannot be associated with the paying of players
For players to get paid, they generally get it two ways-
From a collective-
Money is given to a collective from individuals and business. The collective makes deals with players. Whoever runs the collective decides who get paid and how much. The collective can use the players name image and likeness as they see fit.
From a business- a business hires a player to do promo’s or whatever in exchange for money.
The problems that have been found are that players sometimes don’t uphold their end of the deal. The don’t show up for promo or other agreed upon activity. Sometimes players transfer. Business gets frustrated. Suing the player for breach of contract is generally out of the question.
Then there’s payment under the table. Dark money. That still exists.
The college is out of the loop in all transactions
